It's clear to me you're not putting much thought to your posts.
It's waste of time replying to you.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
It's waste of time replying to you.
Yes, and they have modelled that, is what they are saying.
Maybe they are wrong, maybe their model is utter shite. But it is a scientific model and right now, none of us how this will play out anywhere. Even the places we think "may" have it under control.
Ah yeah, me and the UK SAGE team, no thought whatsoever.
Prometheus though, he knows, he's a real thinker.
America First.
So maybe my initial point about both figures being affected by under reporting was right after all then. It's hard to know what to believe in this day and age!
Yea - I said that a bit casually.
In reality, I think India will literally be the worst hit country in the world.
The official policy is to test only those with travel history to the worst affected countries.
There have been 100 detected cases. Post-death testing to attribute cause of death is horrible in the best of times, let alone now.
# of tests completed is 7,000, which is the worst per capita in the world. Testing capacity is at 2,000 a day with no attempt to expand.
The local state's health minister thinks this will blow over by April 10th(just picked an arbitrary number).
The local private clinics aren't authorized to test. They are referring patients with symptoms of Covid-19 who are being turned away by the government hospitals because they don't have travel history.
This is a disaster in the making. Someone said in 3 months we'll have green zones(countries which managed this) and red zones(countries crippled by this).
India is going to be top of the red zone list.
I'll give that a rest for tonight.
I'll leave by saying that all countries missed their chance in early January to nip this in the bud. This isn't going away and I hope all governments follow the advice given to them by their pandemic experts, if they are doing that, I really see no need to hate on them for it.

So your opinion is essentially that other people have done it, so I'm not going to stop what I'm doing. You sound like a thoroughly pleasant individual, do you cull the losers at the end of each PE session?
But the virus isn't everywhere equally, you just have to look at a map of all countries affected and you will notice that there are hotspots and very different figures from one area to the other. A more sophisticated approach would be to adapt the public response to the context, for example in Occitanie you have almost 6m people and "only" 214 cases but based on what we see in the northern regions, we decided to go in a gradually more stringent lockdown because despite the fact that it's a region with very good medical infrastructures avoiding a massive spread will allow less pressure on medical professionals unlike what is happening in Paris and the Grand Est.
Remember to wash your hands afterwards.
My missus' brother in law took part in it, even though his family had been advised to self-isolate by 111 on Thursday, as his wife and son have both been very unwell during the week. Total fanny.
CFR is just that when we're talking about coronavirus.
I cannot confirm that is the case for the flu. The 0,1% being brandied about is a gross estimate, the end result of years of modellong.
I do not know if it factors in undiagnosed/assymptomatic cases, even though I tried to confirm that.
I think, by that point its too late. By that point, no amount of shutting down things is gonna stop an inevitable health industry collapse. It will be too late.
Yeah we play Coronavirus tag.
Thanks for clearing that up Arruda.
Do you need Boris and his mates to tell you when to apply common sense? Going for a roast dinner in a pub is probably not a wise decision right now. You’re playing a game of risk with your and other people’s health. I mean do you trust everything the government tell you?
The way I see it is no one should care about your health more than yourself. If you’re literally waiting for the powers to say keep social distancing then you need to have a look at your priorities
Yes, most definitely, we've got to be prepared for whatever comes our way with this. It's all unchartered territory
When is the next government update/announcement expected?
I have a friend who is an ICU nurse and they've been told as of next week ( i think she said next week) that they're prohibited from any social contact. If they're living with families it's a hotel.
Yeah sorry man, must've missed where you said that when reading the above things you posted.
There must be hundreds of millions of undiagnosed flu cases around the world per year.
I've had it twice/thrice in my life and I've never been to the doctor for it.
Lemsip and Night Nurse and home rest ftw.

The reason why the government seems so sanguine about the total collapse of the NHS, is because they view it as inevitable. There could be 2 million people in need of critical care beds in June/July (on the government's own numbers). We have 5,000 beds and 4,000 of them are already occupied. Nearly all of those 2m are going to die.
Dutch government announced the catering industry, sports clubs, day-care and schools are closed untill April 6th.
Well, my girlfriend was contacted by the Austrian embassy today asking her to urgently consider returning to Austria as they think the UK will shortly descend into chaos and they can't guarantee they will be able to extract their citizens when that happens.
Fun times.
Fun times.
That must be a bit scary TBF.
You think? She's planning to stay here in London, but fecking hell, this is mental.
That sounds pretty bleak.
Who is to say that this expert is correct against the experts of other countries who have taken action? Either side could be right which probably means the other side are wrong but also means we are all placing our faith in one man. I’d rather look after my own health and do what I feel is right for me and others around me
I wonder if Lizzy gets it, will people fecking take notice?
Isn't the virus on its way out in China now?
Wow.
Would you trust the majority or minority though ? I’m not sure which side is right, you never know the UK could be right but the majority are doing one thing and the UK are doing the opposite we will have to wait and see
Just had a quick browse on twitter, It's funny watching all the idiots fighting over food shopping.
I feel sorry for old people or disabled people that rely on home shopping as it seems most have had their orders cancelled.

Again that’s your opinion isn’t it. As this is mine, and plenty of others around the country. I’m not sure how this has ended up being so divisive but it sure isn’t the way forward.
I was actually meant to be at the Spurs game today, what’s worse that away end or the pub? Or both? Doesn’t matter does it, no one can prove either are worse than each other.
That's a very pertinent point. For the lack of a better word, it would be good to see. We, as a public, need to see that data.
Apparently ISIS have advised against travelling to Europe due to Coronavirus. Every cloud and all that.
